Namakubi Dento-teki Tee

Namakubi (生首 - "freshly-severed head") is a grotesque and brutal Japanese motif meant to frighten and shock onlookers. It first appeared in ukiyo-e (woodblock prints) from the Edo period (1603-1868) and is still found in traditional Japanese irezumi (tattoos) today. Depicted is a Dentō-teki (伝統的 - "traditional") portrayal of the severed head motif. The Namakubi design can mean courage, virtue, strength, and dignity. These designs usually capture the most hardcore elements of warrior ethics, including dying at the hands of your enemy for the honor of being a true soldier.
